Description
AnyBus X-gateway - PROFIBUS master - Ethernet/IP adapter
The AnyBus X gateway connects a PROFIBUS network to an Ethernet/IP network, enabling seamless information flow between the two networks.
FAST I/O DATA TRANSFER BETWEEN TWO NETWORKS
The X-gateway is primarily intended for the transmission of cyclic I/O data between the two networks, thus relieving the PLC of additional tasks. The gateway is a master in the PROFIBUS network and an adapter in the Ethernet/IP network. Data transfer is transparent and up to 512 bytes of I/O data can be transferred in any direction.
SIMPLE COMMISSIONING - NO PROGRAMMING REQUIRED
The connection between the two networks is configured with the AnyBus Configuration Manager software. No programming knowledge is required for this. The I/O data volume to be transferred is preset to 20 bytes at the factory.
Features and benefits
Fast exchange of cyclic I/O data between the PROFIBUS and Ethernet/IP network (10-15 ms)
Compatible with PLCs from leading manufacturers
Powerful master interface makes the PLC in the PROFIBUS network unnecessary
Supports up to 512 bytes of input and output data in each direction
Possibility of designing own web pages for diagnostic purposes, for example
For diagnostic purposes, control and status information can be added to the I/O data
Robust stand-alone housing for use in harsh industrial environments
Qualified, personalized support
